When it comes to man bags, it seems there are two major categories: work bags and casual messengers. There are other options here and there, but men have never taken to man bags like women have to our bags, and I don’t see that changing drastically anytime soon. A sleek briefcase is one of the best bags you can invest in as a dude, and just like with women’s bags, I love finding the ultimate options.

For this week’s Man Bag Monday, I’ve turned to Hermès, the brand known for inciting hysteria over their Birkins. This men’s briefcase is just as lovely.

The Hermès Sac a Depeches is the ultimate briefcase if you are looking for a solid investment. The briefcase doesn’t offer a shoulder strap, which I actually like, because briefcases originally were intended to be carried by hand. There is something so classic about this design and the lack of messenger strap, and that has me loving it even more.

This bag comes in Togo calfskin, which is a thick pebbled leather that has just enough give and isn’t overly rigid. The dimensions leave plenty of space for most laptops, as the bag measures 15″ wide. If you or your man are looking for a simply stunning briefcase, look no further.
